    There’s probably some way to add it in bash, but if you install zsh and use the default options for everything, it just works! I especially love zsh for things “just work”: not just tab completion for directories but also having completion for tools like git, docker, kubectl, etc is super easy, and you don’t need any weird magic like in Bash if you want to use an alias with the same completion

      Hmm, it didn’t “just work” for me. I had to set it up recently:

      zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' 'r:|=*' 'l:|=* r:|=*'

      That line needs to go in .zshrc. Maybe it’s enabled by default with oh-my-zsh?

        I’m sorry, that must be it, I immediately installed oh-my-zsh after switching to zsh

          I tend to always install both of them together too! Which makes it a little hard to know where things are coming from. This time I decided to start from scratch, so certain aspects of the config are still salient in my mind
